I agree that it would be nice if BaseStation remembered the last resize of the Aircraft Details box but, regretfully, it doesn't. It's been on the wish list for some time..

by **garry** » December 9th, 2007, 8:48 pm

Thanks for that, all I have to do is open it and resize the first time after that it is normally Ok.

I have change my file to use 1 of the new pop up windows which works fine .
However how do you get the edit details window to display the same format as the popup ?

Hi Paul

Could you be more specific? Which file have you changed and what pop up window? Are you talking about the Aircraft Details window or an add-on such as Flight Display?

by **bones** » December 23rd, 2007, 4:28 pm

However how do you get the edit details window to display the same format as the popup ?

You can't. The Aircraft Details window is an XSL file and editable but the Add/Edit Aircraft Notes window in BaseStation and the Dialog window in Reporter are not XSL driven - you can't get at them.

I'm using this 1 because i wanted to add selcal info to it however unable to get it to work.
The seen tag is linked to usertag in the add/edit aircraft notes however can't find which 1 is linked to selcal.
If the info can't be added whats the point of having it.

Hi Paul

It looks like you're using a modified xsl file with a Selcal line. But I can't see a Selcal field in the Basestation database.

You could have a line called Father Christmas and populate it with data from any nominated aircraft field in the database, such ad MTOW. There isn't much point having Selcal in the Aircraft Details window, unless it's linked to an actual field in the database. If you open the basestation.xsl file with Notepad you might spot what field it's using?

The Add/Edit Aircraft Notes is a "window" to the Basestation database (sqb file) and as Bones has said, you can't change this.

by **bones** » December 24th, 2007, 8:37 am

The problem here is that you can't really add code to the XSL file without some understanding of what it does. The Selcal line of code you added should tell you which data field it is using - my guess is that it is "borrowing" a column that is not normally populated by SBSPopulate - such as Manufacturer or Engines.

Like the Previous ID, CoA Cat and CoA Exp fields these are always going to remain empty unless you add this data manually in Reporter.

Thank you it is using one of the fields in Add/Edit aircraft notes.
By numbering each one i found the one it is linked to.
Selcal is linked to Status.
The modified file i got from Bones post on page 2 of this subject.

thanks for the help

PS merry christmas and happy new year all.

I wanted a flight details window that I could run across the bottom of the screen, alongside Basestation, Planeplotter, and FD. like this:

Here's what I came up with:

And here's the XML:

Code: Select all: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso8859-1"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:template match="/"> <html> <head> <link rel="stylesheet" href="basestation.css" type="text/css"/> </head> <body> <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="4"/> <table> <tr> <td valign="top" width="1000"> <table border="1" cellpadding="0" frame="box"> <tr> <td valign="top" bgcolor="rgb(220,250,200)"> Â Â Callsign : <xsl:apply-templates select="//currentflight/callsign"/> Â Â </td> <td valign="top" bgcolor="rgb(220,250,200)"> Â Â Reg : <xsl:apply-templates select="//regdata/registration"/> Â Â </td> <td valign="top" bgcolor="rgb(220,250,200)"> Â Â Type : <xsl:apply-templates select="//regdata/type"/> Â Â </td> <td valign="top" bgcolor="rgb(220,250,200)"> Â Â ModeS : <xsl:apply-templates select="//transmission/modes"/> Â Â </td> </tr> </table> <table border="1" cellpadding="0" frame="box"> <tr> <td valign="top" bgcolor="rgb(220,250,200)"> Â Â Operator : <xsl:apply-templates select="//regdata/registeredowners"/> Â Â </td> <td valign="top" bgcolor="rgb(220,250,200)"> Â Â Country : <xsl:apply-templates select="//transmission/country"/> Â Â </td> </tr> </table> <table border="1" cellpadding="0" frame="box"> <tr> <td valign="top" bgcolor="rgb(220,250,200)"> Â Â RouteÂ Â </td> <td valign="top" bgcolor="rgb(220,250,200)"> <xsl:apply-templates select="//currentflight/Route"/> </td> </tr> </table> <td bgcolor="rgb(255,255,204)"> <img src="P:\Basestation\Images\{//regdata/registration}.jpg" height="125" align="top" border="0" /> <img src="P:\Basestation\Images\{//regdata/registration}_A.jpg" height="125" align="top" border="0" /> <img src="P:\Basestation\Images\{//regdata/registration}_J.jpg" height="125" align="top" border="0" /> </td> </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet>

Not having much luck with this, tried notepad etc. Is there a files section where an xml copy could be placed allowing the user to copy and rename?

Here's my basestation.xsl file - http://www.filefactory.com/file/dbf165

You'll definately have to change anything in this file that starts P:\Basestation

I'm sure someone else might be able to help with one that doesn't use locally stored photos and operator logos.

So what is the significance of P:\Basestation?

Not seen that before where does it come from?

Okay, going off topic a bit, but (highlight to read):

Under Vista, to use FileFreedom to feed Planeplotter, Basestation has to be installed to a non-NTFS drive, otherwise the transactional NTFS system in Vista interferes with reading/writing the BST log file. So, I have a small 1gb drive ( P: ) formated as FAT32 for BS, PP, etc.

Just one reason why I'd rather not use Planeplotter, but then I'd have to mention the M word for why I have to use Planeplotter.

Hello,

I tried the example given by Bones at the beginning of the thread. It works fine except about the route field...

<< Below the airline logo is a Route field but this will only work if you are running the Flight Display program - see the forum Resources section for details. >>

I understood FlightDisplay must be running, in order to recover the route and, yes, FD is running.

So could anyone tell me why I've no route displayed in the Aircraft Details box ?

Many thanks...

Denis
